Corina Schulze is a Professor at the Department of Political Science & Criminal Justice Department in Mobile, Alabama.

Her research began with an interest in gender in policing and, later, in studying the experience of sexual assault disclosures and reporting in LGBTQ communities. And, now, she is proud to be working with a talented group of current and former students to create this one-of-a-kind project.
